Fans brand Mistletoe ‘easiest’ guess ever

However, if ITV were expecting viewers to be left baffled by Mistletoe’s true identity, they’ll have been very disappointed.

Fans were convinced they knew the identity of the festive character immediately after they’d opened their mouth.

“Mistletoe is definitely Dermot O’Leary!” one fan tweeted.

“I will eat my hat if Mistletoe isn’t Dermot O’Leary, I literally said after he sang the first sentence,” another said.
